Translation, by John Ogilby, of: De Nieuwe en onbekende Weereld: of Beschryving van America en 't Zuid-Land. Amsterdam, 1671

Originally published London, 1670 [i.e. 1671]

Edited by John Ogilby

Second, third and fourth issues, all dated 1671, with Ogilby as printer, and the plate "Nova Virginiæ tabula," facing p. 192, hand corrected to read: Terræ-Mariæ nova et Virginiæ tabula

The second issue includes the plates "Arx Carolina" (facing p. 205) and "Virginiæ pars australis & Florida" (facing p. 213), but the plate on Barbados (facing p. 377) is not listed in the index of plates on p. [1], 3rd count. The folded map of America (facing p. 1, 2nd count) is signed: per Johanem Ogiluium. F. Lamb sculp., and the text illustrations on p. 442 and 452 respectively are the correct ones

The third issue lacks the plates "Arx Carolina" and "Virginiæ pars australis & Florida", i.e. there are only 56 leaves of plates (including the frontispiece). The two plates are not listed in the index of plates on p. [1], 3rd count, but instead the map of Barbados (facing p. 377) is included. The folded map of America (facing p. 1, 2nd count) is signed: per Fredericum de Witt Amstelodami. F.de Wit excudit, and the text illustrations on p. 442 and 452 are interchanged

The fourth issue lacks the text illustration on p. 200, i.e. there are only 65 text illustrations, and the text of p. 197-200 has been recomposed, in larger type, to fill the gap
